Quote by: Catherynne M. Valente

Who told you you couldn't come back when you're grown? Was it the same person who told you grown-ups don't cry or blush or clap their hands when they're happy? Don't try to say otherwise, I've seen you fighting like a boxer to change your face so that it never shows anything. Whoever told you that's what growing up means is a , as true as a mustache. I am growing up, too, and look at me! I cry and I blush and I live in Fairyland always!
